To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IRA M. KILLER, of Akron, connty of Summit, State ofOhio, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Advertising-Cards, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, making part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to cards for advertising machinery; and theobject of the invention is to produce a card which shall clearly illus`trate the action of any particular movable part of a machine or anymovable attachment thereto.

For this purpose the invention consists in an advertising-card havingone or more iixed surfaces bearing pictorial representations of amachine, or one or more parts of the same, and combined with one or moremovable snrfaces bearing pictorial representations of a movable part orparts oi' a machine, whereby the action of the movable parts of suchmachine relative to the fixed part of the same shall be correctlyreproduced by proper inanipulations of the movable surface or surfaces.

rIhe inventionl further consists in certain peculiar and novel detailsof construction and arrangement, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In order that the invention maybe 'fullyunf derstood, it will now bedescribed with reference to the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure lis a front elevation of the im provedy advertising-card. Fig. 2 is asimilar View of the same, the movable portion of the card being variedin position. Fig. 3 illustrates the several partsof the card in detachedcondition.

As shown on the drawings, the card illus trates a harvestingmachinehaving a folding binder applied thereto. It is to this particular classof machines that the card is especially applicable; but it will be seenthat various other machines may be represented by the card and withequal facility.'

In the said drawings, A designates the txed face of the card, which maybe either of oblong or rectangular form, as shown, or of any othersuitable or preferred form. In the upper lefthand corner of this portionA is formcd an opening` or aperture, a, and to the under side of saidportion A, contiguous to one margin ofthe opening a, is pivotallyattached a movable portion, B, the pivotal point of said portion B beingshown at b.

The fixed surface or portion A of the card bears a pictorialillustration of a harvester, and the movable surface or portion B bearsa pictorial illustration cfa folding binder forsaid harvester. It willnow be seen that when the portion B is in the'position illustrated inFig. 1 the binder will be correctly shown as it appears When in use,while when the movable portion B is moved in the direction indicated bythe arrow in Fig. l to the position rshown in Fig. 2 the binder will becorrectly shown as it appears when folded for transportation. Moreover,as the portion B moves on its pivot b, either in the direction of thearrow in Fig. 1 or in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow inFig. 2, the movement of the binder relative to the harvester will becorrectly reproduced.

In order to properly limit the movements ofthe portion B, it is providednear its outer edge with a stop, b, which comes against a notch, fr',cut on the outer margin ofthe opening. The margin of this opening fromthe stop Z1 to the point b2 is curved parallel with the movement of studb', thereby insuring a proper travel of the movable portion B.

C designates the backing of the card, and this portion overlies thebaci; of the movable portion B, so as to protect the same. The backingmay either correspond in outline with the face A or vary thereform, asdesired, and said backing forms a convenient surface upon which to printany explanation ofthe card or of the machine which it illust-rates.

Thus a novel and attractive ad vertisi n g-card is produced, which is asconvenient to carry and as durable as a plain card.

Vithout departing from the spirit oi' this invention, the card may havetwo or more openings, a, and a corresponding number or' movableportions, B, and in any event will clearly illustrate the operation ot'any part or parts of a machine to which particular attention is to bedrawn.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by vLetters Patent, is-

l. An improved advertising card, consisting ICO of a fixed surface aportion of which is cut 'away to form an opening, a movable surfacepivoted to said xed surface, the fixed surface bearing a pictorialillustration of one or more parts ofthe machine, the pivoted surfacebearing a pictorial illustration of another portion of such machine,said movable portion being adapted by means of its pivotal connection tobe swung into two positions, one of said po sitions representing themachine in operative condition and the other representing the movY ablepart folded, and both the stationary and movable portions of the cardbeing` secured by a suitable backing, as and for the purpose speciied 2.An improved advertising-card, consistinzg` of a fixed surface a, portionof which is cut away to form an opening, a movable surface underneathand pivoted to said fixed surface7 the xed surface bearing a pictorialillustration of one or more parts of a machine, the
